Grown up…ur life’s simple!

“Grown ups have it way to easy…I just wish I could fast forward to the grown up stage” says my young nephew and I wonder if this really is true!?

The following is a rambling written at the spur of the moment:

Today I am a grown up that time is long gone when after a bad incident a simple hug from my mother would convince me of the fact that whatever happened today was just an accident and tomorrow will be better and I will rule the world no matter what. Today a simple failure seems like a mountain too hard to move.
Yesterday a simple candy given by a friend on his birthday seemed enough today, a friend just wishing me on my birthday was the height of cool. Now each time we plan for the weekend party knowing that when our turn comes I would have to do the same. It is evaluated who didn’t turn up why did they give the cold shoulder?
I had friends yesterday who pledged to remain friends with me forever and there were friends for whom I would fight the world, If any one gave the cold shoulder to lallu they were my sworn enemy. There was no greater thing than to pledge eternal loyalty to my friend. A big fight with my best friend yesterday was resolved in a matter of hours for each of us was willing to say sorry…today we have a big ego a mild disagreement leads to a grudge which is a barrier that neither wishes to resolve…”Well I’m done saying sorry to him”, “Why should I always take the first move”.
Yesterday my parents could get me admission into any school that I wanted. Today it is different no matter how much I plead it is just not my efforts but also of those around me that determine where I will land up whether the college will take me or not
The uncles’ daughter who was my first female friend was in my hearts and dreams supposed to be the princess who would rule my kingdom, now I see some of my friends with girl friends and wonder who is it for me and the definition changes each month, I see how compatible the individual is rather than how close the bond could be.
I today have to face a barrage of questions about my career and life in general from interested (for the want of a better word) relatives and associates who even after knowing the entire story insist on knowing it first hand…
Yet I am a grown up…I am in more control of my life…I have more money to spend (that today I think twice before spending is a different issue!)I have friends who can rely on… I know what I want…I know how to get it(that I don’t get it is a diff matter)my life is easy!?
